About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First Optimization and Wildfire Conference, held in Luso, Portugal, from October 1-4, 2024. The book features state-of-the-art research results in wildfire management and optimization, highlighting the latest advances in operational research and decision-making methods, and offers innovative solutions to wildfire-related decision problems. It focuses on the application of these methods, including optimization models and solution approaches, to address the complex challenges posed by wildfires. By bringing together cutting-edge research and practical solutions, this book serves as a vital resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers dedicated to improving wildfire management and decision-making processes.

 

About the Author

Filipe Alvelos is an Associate Professor at the Department of Production and Systems, School of Engineering, University of Minho, Portugal. His main research is devoted to the use of operations research and optimization (e.g. mixed integer programming, meta-heuristics, multi-objective, under uncertainty) to address relevant societal problems (e.g. kidney exchange programs, forest management, wildfire suppression) from modelling to software implementation. He is vice-president of the Portuguese Operational Research Society.

 

Isabel Martins Isabel Martins is a professor at the School of Agriculture, University of Lisbon, Portugal, and a member of the Center for Mathematical Studies at the University of Lisbon. Her research focuses on operations research applied to various domains within the School of Agriculture, particularly forest management, with an emphasis on environmental and fire-related concerns.

 

Ana Maria A. C. Rocha is an Associate Professor at the Department of Production and Systems (DPS), School of Engineering, University of Minho, Portugal. She is a researcher and coordinator of the “Systems Engineering and Operational Research (SEOR)” research group at the ALGORITMI Research Centre, University of Minho. She has been developing her scientific activity in the areas of systems engineering, optimization, and operational research. In particular, her research interests are in the global optimization, nonlinear optimization and mixed-integer programming areas.
